I think Bale plays more centrally now.
From time to time yes!
He sort of floats across the whole pitch nowadays.
Remember a few years back when he was just a silly little hopeless left back. How many games did he play until the team won a match with him in the starting XI? 16 or what was it?
Now his self confidence is peaking and 'Arry thinks he's ready for bigger challenges - hence floating across the pitch all the time!
I think that is good for us and bad for Spuds! Bale poses a far deeper threat as a left winger than in the "float mode"!
